Small nuke reactors are really coming online by next year, #US #EnergySecretary #ChrisWright insists
The #UnitedStates #Nuclear Regulatory Commission has only approved two #SMR designs for commercial construction, both are actually iterations of the same design from #NuScale, one able to produce 50 MW of energy and an upgraded 77 MW model. For reference, typical #datacenter uses between 5 and 10 MW, but the mega-datacenters favored by hyperscalers can require up to 100MW.
